This quint was released with the Addicted to Dior Summer 2010 collection along with Ready To Glow. It's available at Dior counters and dior.com, and retails for $58. I have to say, I'm pretty disappointed with this quint.
The colors in this quint are gorgeous. I love the warm (but not too warm) shades as well as the random plummy mauve. Surprisingly, the mauve color (bottom left) is my favorite of the quint. The texture is nice, and the shadows blend very easily together. The shimmer factor is high, but that should be expected with an iridescent quint.
The trouble started when I wore the quint. The shadows were not as pigmented as I'd hoped, so they didn't show up true to pan on my skin. This quint would look great on lighter skintones, but it was a bit too sheer for mine. Also, I experienced some creasing. I've never had a problem with and of my other quints creasing, so I thought maybe it was user error. I wore nothing but Crush Glow for a week straight, and I creased regardless of the primer I chose. So weird!
It's pretty much a quint of lid colors and highlighters for. The bronze color is not deep or complex enough to use in the crease, so this isn't a very versatile quint.
Overall, I do like the quint, but it's not the go-to summer quint I was hoping for. I've found myself reaching for Beige Massai much more often lately.
You'll love this if: you love shimmer, warm to neutral colors, or semi-sheer shadows.
You'll leave this if: you're a matte kinda girl, you're very cool toned (check out Ready to Glow!), or you like a very versatile quint.
